Character Respond, Answer, Ask (December Edition)

Welcome to a special edition of the CRAA in which you are invited to bring your characters' long lost parents, parental figures, or other people that were influential to your character's development, in place of your regular characters, if you so desire.

What is the Character Respond Answer Ask?

Have you ever had a character and you thought, "How do I get to know you better?"

Well, you're in luck. The point of the thread is to get to know your character better, through both serious and ridiculous prompts, with the added bonus of other people getting to know your character, as well!

The way it works is fairly simple. I'll post a question at the bottom of this thread. The next person will come and answer that question, and then leave their own question. Person #2 will come on and think, "That's an interesting question and I want to answer it!" Before they can do that, however, they must post a response to the previous person's answer. Then they can answer the question the first person posted, and then they can leave their own question.

Person 2: Responds to the answer of Person 1 (I.e., wow, Charlie has a really intense hatred for that board game! Is there a particular reason, or does she just really hate it because she can?)

Answers the question Person 1 left

Leaves their own question

And repeat!

A couple (important) notes:

Style doesn't really matter. You can answer it from your, the author's, POV (Charlie dislikes Risk because blah blah blah), or you can answer it from the character's point of view (Charlie: I hate Risk. That game is so stupid).

Don't feel obligated to answer all the past questions, whether you're new or you're a regular but you haven't been able to participate lately. If there are a couple that really speak out to you, then feel free to answer them, but you don't have to. Also, because sometimes threads can get long and unruly, you don't have to read all the previous posts unless you really want to. Just have a response for the person above you, a question for the person below you, and you're good to go!

Respond to the post above yours. As with the questions, you don't need to respond to everyone's previous posts, but you need to at least respond to the post above yours! That kind of interaction between the author/character is part of what makes the thread fun!

If you still have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! I promise we aren't as scary as we look. :)

Here's the last question from last month: Q: What's your favorite dessert?

Okay, a few notes on where in the timeline these characters exist right now, mostly so I don't get lost myself. ^^;

The Porters have just recently adopted Gabrielle, so they are roughly 19 years in the past in relation to the current episode.

Jen and Marshall (Gerald's parents) are around the same spot in time, which would make Gerry six to them. ^.^

Alton and Enzo are thirty and eighteen years old respectively. Enzo and Jo are already engaged at this point. They are, sadly, a few months away from death. :|

Katherine is seventeen which is the age she was when her father died and she was alone taking care of the twins. Kyle and Sebastian are seven to her.

Lucille and Richard (Lena's mom and Dani's dad) are in their early twenties, this is obviously before they have any children. >.>

Now that I have this written reminder here posterity, let's get this started!

Q: What's your favorite dessert?

Emily: "It's apple slices."

Jack: "It's coffee cake."

Emily: "Jaack."

Jack: "They want the real answer and not the one you give in front of the kids, hun."

Emily: "Fiiine. It is coffee cake." crosses arms "It's a shame it's impossible to acquire any coffee in Valcrest. Not many bounties are actually worth crossing the borders for. I haven't seen a decent cake in five years."

Jack: "Don't be overdramatic, there is a lot of cake variety in Valcrest."

Emily: "Rum cake, I suppose, would be my second favorite, but... Not with raisins. Who spoils good cake with raisins."

Jack: "Now that's something you definitely should not be saying in front of the children."

Emily: :|

Jack: "I like caramel pudding. If only someone would make it for me more often."

Emily: "Oh, who's being overdramatic now, mister?"

Jack: chuckles

Jen: "I like fig pudding. It's definitely my favorite."

Marshall: "Figs are disgusting. I don't know how you can even put that in your mouth."

Adaellae: She expected perfection in everything we, my brother and I, did. If we were short of it, she reacted... harshly. shrugs She disappeared a lot, who knows what she was up to; eventually she stopped returning. My brother used to say it was because she was mauled by a dragon.

If someone gets stabbed would it really be Arial's job to clean that up or is she exaggerating? ^.-

Arial: Of everyone in this room, yes, it's my job. If this was on the street, I would be able to make someone else do it.

The White Shadows could make so much money with that "easy to wash the blood off" fabric of theirs. :P

Ah, no wonder they're so confident in white.

Johanna: "Hourglass. Or... Moon and stars."

Or both?

Oh look, someone beat me to posting and now I'mma respond to that one.

Emily: "Fiiine. It is coffee cake." crosses arms "It's a shame it's impossible to acquire any coffee in Valcrest. Not many bounties are actually worth crossing the borders for. I haven't seen a decent cake in five years."

What exactly does Valcrest have that is decent? Apples? All I've heard of are apples.

Adaellae: She expected perfection in everything we, my brother and I, did. If we were short of it, she reacted... harshly. shrugs She disappeared a lot, who knows what she was up to; eventually she stopped returning.

Johanna: :|

Yeah, that does sound a bit familiar. >.>

What exactly does Valcrest have that is decent? Apples? All I've heard of are apples.

Gerald's parents explain a lot about his and Jo's relationship really. I'm pretty sure his mother randomly pushing his father off his seat for no reason was a common thing in his household. Amongst other forms of purposefully annoying the crap out of each other. :P

Chad: Chocolate cake is always too rich.
Sharone: That's the point. You don't eat it because you're trying to be... I dunno, healthy or something.
Chad: That's not what I meant. I just meant, personally, I don't like eating it when it just makes me feel sick later.

I feel the same about chocolate cake, really. It's like, eh, I have it now and then, but it's never my first choice. :/

Sharone: Vaping. It was completely an accident when I started and every time I cut off I start up again.
Chad: Those things normally are accidents.
Sharone: Yeah :/

How do you accidentally vape, though?

Haris sounds like a really chill guy. I like him. :)

Also... Rus' parents sound a bit... Tense, overall. :|

Q: Do you think your parents would be proud of you now?

Jack: "My parents founded this group, I try to the best of my abilities to follow in their footsteps, so I would like to assume so."

Emily: "It's what they tell themselves. I thought at least my mother would want to meet our children, but no. Not interested."

Jack: "It's entirely their loss."

Emily: "Truly."

Marshall: "My parents abandoned me with no hesitation, so I think not. Nor do I care."

Jen: forced laughter "No. My father has some, let's say, interest in tolerating me because of my position, but I'm well aware of what he thinks of me, our situation, and our child."

Marshall: "Our situation?"

Jen: "We're not married. Which, even if I wanted to..."

Marshall: "Which for the record you did not."

Jen: "No." frowns "But even if I wanted to, you don't have as much as a birth certificate. You'd have to register as a Newhaven citizen."

Marshall: "It would take the White Shadows five minutes to marry us and it is binding." shrug

Jen: "We are not having this conversation again."

Marshall: "I'm just reminding you that the only reason it never happened is that you made the decision not to."

Jen: "I don't if we had it would make my father think of you as less of a human turd, or me as less of a failure. So there is no point."

Marshall: "Alright." pause "I'm just saying that those are the fac-..."

Jen: "Marshall." glare

Alton: "I don't know." shrug "Wouldn't even venture a guess."

Enzo: "I would hope so. I mean..." sigh "Honestly, Alt has been more of a parent to me than anyone else. Mom died when I was too young and my dad never knew I existed."

Alton: "Maybe we'll find him in the desert, though." :/

Enzo: "I'm not sure it matters." shrugs

Katherine: "I like to think that my mother would. And, honestly? I don't believe my father should have the right to approve or disapprove of me."

(that was... unexpectedly harsh o.O)

Richard: sigh "I hope so. I like to think I do right by the clan and my parents would appreciate that."

Lucille: "No." nervous laughter "My parents were healers."

Richard: "Wait, what?"

Lucille: "Yeah, I don't like to talk about them much. They died when I was young. The White Shadows don't really insist if you say you want to leave them, no matter how much of a child you are. So I took off when I was twelve. Claire's mom found me. And here I am." shrug

Richard: "So you just left the White Shadows and decided to live in the woods or something?"

Lucille: "I was trying to reach Newhaven. I was a stupid child, okay?"

Q: What is the best gift you've ever received?

"So break yourself against my stones. And spit your pity in my soul. You never needed any help. You sold me out to save yourself." Slipknot - Snuff

Gerald's parents explain a lot about his and Jo's relationship really. I'm pretty sure his mother randomly pushing his father off his seat for no reason was a common thing in his household. Amongst other forms of purposefully annoying the crap out of each other. :P

I mean, I've heard that the relationship you have with romantic partners tends to mimic what your parents' relationship was like.

Someone's holding something in... About bread pudding... ^.-

Miranda: What!? Of course not!

Esteban: She thinks it gave her food poisoning.

Miranda: That's not why.

Esteban: Oh, and it's also why you don't eat oysters anymore.

Miranda: I've learned about how oysters are produced.

Esteban: Why not the bread pudding?

Miranda: I don't. Um. Like it.

Esteban: Because you think it gave you food poisoning.

Miranda: We're moving on.

How do you accidentally vape, though?

Sharone: I meant the habit was an accident. Like, the action itself is on purpose, but the habit was an accident. It went from trying it from other friends to suddenly I was doing it all the time. >.>

Haris is so chill and nice. I love him.

I was expecting Rus' parents to have tension, but not to that degree :P

There's so much information in this, but two questions.

Alton: "Maybe we'll find him in the desert, though." :/

Is he with the Crimson Shadows or something?

Lucille: "I was trying to reach Newhaven. I was a stupid child, okay?"

Was there something waiting for you there?

Q: What is the best gift you've ever received?

Miranda: I got a ring on my finger. holds up hand

Esteban: That's not a gift if we already decided on that.

Miranda: You still could've been one of those people that waited like three years or something.

Esteban: I told all my friends I was proposing to you first. If I waited, you would've proposed first.

Miranda: ...Probably.

Esteban: The best gift was probably the time that some random lady gave me a tip for basically staying calm while we had a huge rush. I actually put in my two weeks that night, but it was nice to be appreciated.

Joshi: The boys randomly come home with crafts and say that they're for us. I don't have any reason to complain about that.

Nikreth: Maybe the radio we got as a wedding gift. It was very, very nice. I still have it somewhere.

Joshi: We should pull it out.

Nikreth: Mm. Maybe.

Lorneth: I got a computer at our wedding. :/

Joshi: Did you like it?

Lorneth: It was alright :P

Chad: Someone bought me a cake for no reason other than I asked for one and that remains the best gift.

Sharone: I bought you a star and that's your answer?

Chad: I forgot about that.

Sharone: I bought you something immortal and your answer is a cake?

Chad: Oops. shrugs

Sharone: Well, then. -.-

Maya: I guess my kids. Even if some of them are little shits. >.>

Haris: I'd say you.

Maya: blushes

Haris: And you really should've picked better children. They don't usually deserve you.

I mean, I've heard that the relationship you have with romantic partners tends to mimic what your parents' relationship was like.

For Gerry's sake, I hope that's not always true. ^^'

Is he with the Crimson Shadows or something?

Alton: "Yes." pause "Our mom, ya know, she was... uhm..."

Enzo: "A whore."

Alton: glares

Enzo: "That's the proper name for it." >.>

Alton: sigh "Yes, that. So. We have different fathers. Mom didn't know who mine was, but Enzo's father was a Crimson Shadow mom was sort of serious about at the time. I don't remember what exactly happened, but he left for the desert before she found out she was pregnant and she just... Decided not to tell him."

Miranda: I got a ring on my finger. holds up hand
Esteban: That's not a gift if we already decided on that.

Did you buy it and gave it to her yourself? If so, I'd say it counts. nods

Chad: Someone bought me a cake for no reason other than I asked for one and that remains the best gift.
Sharone: I bought you a star and that's your answer?
Chad: I forgot about that.
Sharone: I bought you something immortal and your answer is a cake?
Chad: Oops. shrugs
Sharone: Well, then. -.-

Cake > Star. I agree. :P

Haris, god damn it, be less awesome. -.-

Q: What is something good you have that you don't deserve?

Jack: "I've worked hard for everything I have in life and I absolutely deserve all of it." shrug

Emily: "Our children are too good for this world, in my opinion, so I'd say that counts."

Jack: "Not all the time."

Emily: -.-

Jack: "You know it's true."

Emily: "I know no such thing." >.>

Marshall: "Jen."

Jen: "Yes?"

Marshall: "That's my answer." :|

Jen: "..."

Marshall: "You can look at me like that all you want. I stand by that answer."

Jen: "I'm sorry, but no. You're not allowed to say that. The only one allowed to stipulate who is or isn't worth my time, presence, affections, or whatever the fuck have you, is me."

Marshall: "Fair enough. However, I stand by my answer, because the only one allowed to speak for my sense of self-worth, is me."

Jen: "Marshall, I will kick your ass all the way to fucking Blackpond if you don't take that back right now!" >.<

Esteban: I didn't buy it, but I gave it to her, yeah.
Miranda: It was his grandmother's. ^_^
Esteban: Yeah.

Still counts. Yeah. nods

Also: aaaw. ^.^

Maya: Your husband's onto something, actually.

Jack: "Thank you."

Emily: "You're too strict with those kids."

Jack: "Well, if I learned something from my parents is that parents don't last forever. I'd rather my children not be incompetent idiots when I'm dead. It makes life easier in the long run."

Emily: :| "Don't bring logic into this."

Kat is extremely lovable. >.>

Miranda: I'm a secretary. It's alright, but it pays well and it's a good entrance job. Eventually, who knows; maybe one day I'll be the one paying for a secretary.
Esteban: I never understood secretaries. Why have someone else handling your life for you? :/
Miranda: So you have time to do other things, instead of always stressing about your schedule.

I wish I could afford a secretary. sigh

Joshi: I think all that he's trying to say is--
Both: dark look
Joshi: >.> I'm your wife; I'm allowed to get involved in these conversations.

And I thought relationships were complicated enough with two people. -.-

Q: Are you more of a tidy person or a messy person?

Jack: "I'm tidy for the sake of this one not glaring at me."

Emily: "I like to be able to find things, that's all."

Jack: "We're constantly moving around and rebuilding our camp. Organized chaos would be the more logical course of action."

Emily: "When you're the one cooking for the entire group, you get to have a say in that."

Jack: :| "Fine."

Jen: "Marshall is..." sigh "Obsessive."

Marshall: "I'm methodic. It's an acquired habit, alright? Putting the wrong thing in the wrong place can have some pretty nasty consequences... Don't."

Jen: snort-chuckle "I'm actually proud you've managed to pick up on that one."

Marshall: "You're an overgrown infant."

Jen: "Are you calling me fat?"

Marshall: "You know very well that if I wanted to call you fat I would just call you fat."

Jen: "...That's true."

Marshall: "If you were fat, you would likely be unfit to perform your duties. Physical fitness is an important aspect of combat."

Jack: "Thank you."
Emily: "You're too strict with those kids."
Jack: "Well, if I learned something from my parents is that parents don't last forever. I'd rather my children not be incompetent idiots when I'm dead. It makes life easier in the long run."
Emily: :| "Don't bring logic into this."

That's the weirdest thing to never put away?? How do you know if you're grabbing a clean pair or a dirty pair?? Like, shirts or pants, okay, you can probably remember if you've worn that already, but socks??

Q: What makes you feel better after a bad day?

Miranda: A pedicure. Or tea. Particularly chamomile, but any will do after a terrible day.

Esteban: I eat >.>

Miranda: At least it tastes good.

Esteban: :/

Lorneth: I find talking my problems out to be helpful.

Nikreth: You don't do that very often anymore.

Lorneth: I'm not...

Nikreth: I was just thinking out loud :/

Joshi: There's really not much for me. I can only take so much medication.

Nikreth: The baths?

Joshi: shrugs Not so helpful as they used to be.

Sharone: I play video games. I particularly enjoy puzzle games, but anything will do.

Chad: Baking and reading are both very relaxing for me. They help me forget about my problems.

Maya: I like to sit back and relax with people I like. Usually they don't talk to me, but that--

Haris: I talk to you all the time.

Maya: I'm not talking about you.

Haris: If I'm a person you like, which, I'm going to take a risk and assume I am--

Maya: There's a difference between people I like and people I love, for one thing.

Haris: Then who falls into the people you like category?

Maya: What does that mean? You know what, can you just take the compliment and answer the question?

Haris: I'm only saying, you either love people, or you hate them. You don't really have an in between.

Maya: There are people I have mixed feelings for.

Haris: No, there are people who make you angry. You still love them. There's a difference.

Maya: mumbles under breath

Haris: I can hear that.

Maya: You know what, I'm having very mixed feelings about you right now. -.-

Haris: I like laughing after a bad day. glances at Maya Drama queens help me do that.

Miranda: For the right price, I might freelance for you.
Esteban: please. Please don't.

Don't worry. There's no way I could afford it. ^^'

I mean. To an extent.

Marshall: "He's messy because she encourages it."

Jen: "Children need to express themselves." >.>

Marshall: "You're in the military."

Jen: "Are you implying I don't discipline our child, Marshall?"

Marshall: "No. No, no, no, no." nervous chuckle "No." >.>

Jen: "Good." -.-

That's the weirdest thing to never put away?? How do you know if you're grabbing a clean pair or a dirty pair?? Like, shirts or pants, okay, you can probably remember if you've worn that already, but socks??

Richard: awkward chuckle "Yeah." :P

Lucille: "No wonder she complains."

(Tbh, there are always socks all over my room at all times. I don't know why or how, but there are o.o)

Joshi: There's really not much for me. I can only take so much medication.
Nikreth: The baths?
Joshi: shrugs Not so helpful as they used to be.

Is Joshi ill? :(

To be fair to Maya, I have people I hate, people I love, and people that I'm willing to tolerate. I'm not at all willing to tolerate people I hate. At all. Even if I wanted to, I'm bad at it. :|

Q: What's your favorite color?

Jack: "Brown."

Emily: "Brown's such a boring color, though."

Jack: "Your... Eyes... Are brown."

Emily: "I know. And I kind of wish the boys had blue eyes like you. They're so pretty."

This has always been the weirdest trope to me, that military personnel are/should be more strict with their children.

My grandfather was a military officer and, yeah, that is very weird to me as well. :P

That said, little Gerry knows where the lines are drawn. >.>

As long as you put up the clean ones so you know that you're grabbing a clean pair, then there's not much to say. (I don't know why you wouldn't try to always wear sandals, though :P)

I used to wear flip flops a lot in the summer, but my feet get sweaty. So no. No more. >.>

yeah. It's terminal; per the time continuum, she doesn't actually have much time left.

:( :( :(

Maya: My husband used to get me flowers on my birthday but they made me sneeze and get headaches.
Haris: Sadly.
Maya: I'm fine with looking at them from a distance, but actually being near them isn't very fun.
Haris: I love flowers. If it wasn't for this one, I'd have flowers all over the place.
Maya: :/ Sorry.
Haris: waves hand It's no problem to me.

Ya know, flowers don't usually bother me, even though most allergic people I know run away from them like the plague. My only issue with flowers is that they attract bees. And I hate bees. I also would do well to not get stung by one ever. >.>

Alton: "I'd say you're a excellent musician, an above-average poet and maybe painting is just not for you."

Enzo: "...Fair enough."

Alton: "I mean, it's not bad..."

Enzo: "Okay."

Alton: :|

I stand by my opinion that dolls are creepy. >.>

Maya: pauses That snake in your bed, it was me, not Dora. proud look
Haris: :|
Maya: shrugs It was Dora's snake, though. Or... her husband? frowns The point is, it came from her. But it was me who put it in the bed.
Haris: :|
Maya: You have to admit that it was funny, though. ^_^
Haris: :|

Maya: I can show you! ^_^
Haris: I don't think you need a pranking protege.
Maya: None of my children will take it up, so I think I do.
Haris: I think it's probably for the better, you not having a pranking protege.
Maya: I don't really agree with that.
Haris: Okay. :/

Emily: "Uhm... Okay?" :)

Jack: "I wish you all the luck trying to get this one to misbehave."

Emily: "I think he forgets I literally ran away with him." -.-

I'd say ask, but I guess she probably forgets by the time you ask?

Enzo: "It's more complicated than that I'm afraid. I honestly don't think she knows sometimes. Johanna has a lot of problems she still refuses to share with me."

Maya: She agreed to learn how to do better pranks. That means you need to be more supportive. No more sarcastic "good luck"s, and more sincere "You'll do great"s. :|

Jack: "First of all, that was not sarcasm. I've been married to this woman for fifteen years and I was making an honest assessment of her ability to prank. Also, it's nice of you to offer Emily help with something, but don't tell me what to do. Thank you." crosses arms

Emily: "Jack, be nice."

Jack: "I'm nice." shrug "I just don't appreciate a stranger telling me how I should behave. If anyone gets to do that, it's you." >.>

Emily: chuckle

Chad: They're a big deal. I'm more bothered that you don't care >.>

It could cease to exist today and it would affect my life in nothing. So why should I?

Miranda: sighs yes.
Esteban: smug look
Miranda: It's kind of annoying.
Esteban: I never use it against her.
Miranda: sighs

I don't believe you. :P

Chad: It depends on the day.
Sharone: What does that even mean?
Chad: Wait, we are not talking about what I thought we were.
Sharone: ...What did you think we were talking about?
Chad: I'm not sure, but it wasn't ticklishness.

o.o wut

Q: What's your favorite pie?

Emily: "I don't like pie."

Jack: sigh

Emily: "Don't judge me." >.>

Jack: "I'm not judging you. I'm just contemplating the fact there could be more pie in our lives overall if you also enjoyed it."

Emily: "I can make pies."

Jack: "I'm not comfortable with you putting work into things you can't enjoy." pause "Often, at least." >.>

Emily: smirk "Uh-huh."

Jack: "I like pie." >.>

Emily: "Mhm." :)

Jack: "I really like pecan pie."

Emily: "Good to hear."

Jack: >.>

Jen: "Are tarts considered pies? Because if so, I like pear tarts best. But if not... Peach pie. Peach pie is great."

Jack: "First of all, that was not sarcasm. I've been married to this woman for fifteen years and I was making an honest assessment of her ability to prank. Also, it's nice of you to offer Emily help with something, but don't tell me what to do. Thank you." crosses arms
Emily: "Jack, be nice."
Jack: "I'm nice." shrug "I just don't appreciate a stranger telling me how I should behave. If anyone gets to do that, it's you." >.>
Emily: chuckle

Maya: laughs Fair enough.

It could cease to exist today and it would affect my life in nothing. So why should I?

I'm really upset because I had an argument for Chad when I read this the other day and now I don't remember what it was headdesk

Soooo.... not to like, give you a crisis, but was the 'no alcohol' rule "No Drinking [Alcohol]" or was it just "No Alcohol [Ever]"? Because if it was the former, then sure, you get by, but if it was the latter, then I can't say you haven't broken your vows with pie :|

Q: Coffee or tea?

Esteban: Tea. I guess. I drink it more than coffee.

Miranda: I don't really drink either, but if I had to pick one, I guess coffee? I drink coffee-based beverages more often.

Esteban: You sip off of my cups all day.

Miranda: Oh.

Lorneth: uhhh... either.

Nikreth: They're not always warm.

Lorneth: Oh.

Joshi: I wouldn't drink either, then.

Nikreth: I guess you could microwave them or something.

Joshi: That's too much work. Get them hot originally or don't drink them.

Lorneth: Basically.

(I write as I sip from a cup of iced coffee.)

Sharone: I love coffee, but I love my sweet tea, too.

Chad: Sweet tea is... too sweet.

Sharone: Eh, it depends.

Chad: I think I would drink lemonade.

Sharone: Not coffee, the alternative of the question?

Chad: No, because coffee is too bitter for me, and I never get the proportion of cream and sugar right.

I'm really upset because I had an argument for Chad when I read this the other day and now I don't remember what it was headdesk

That's too bad. :|

Soooo.... not to like, give you a crisis, but was the 'no alcohol' rule "No Drinking [Alcohol]" or was it just "No Alcohol [Ever]"? Because if it was the former, then sure, you get by, but if it was the latter, then I can't say you haven't broken your vows with pie :|

Marshall: :|

Jen: "Marsh, it's okay. Even if that's true. No one needs to know and I doubt anyone would care."

Marshall: "I care." :|

Jen: sigh "You know what? You work hard. You should be allowed to enjoy your favorite pie without having a meltdown. Hang on." walks off

Marshall: :|

Jen: comes back dragging the housekeeper along "Would you be so kind as to repeat what you just told me?"

Cynthia: "Uhm... Okay... Most alcohol completely evaporates from foods that have been cooked for at least thirty seconds."

Jen: smiles "See? You're fine."

Cynthia: "Sometimes I feel you don't pay me enough." -.-

Jen: "If you genuinely feel that way we can discuss it." shrug

Cynthia: blushes furiously "No, Miss, that's not... It's not necessary. I was just making a joke. Uhm... May I please be excused?"

Jen: "Yes, you may."

Marshall: "You're giving her a raise."

Jen: "Definitely." :|

Marshall: "Can she make chocolate rum pie?"

Jen: chuckle "I'll ask her."

(I need to develop Cynthia now :P)

Chad: I think I would drink lemonade.

I'll accept this only because in the current heat that'd probably be my answer too. Unless I could have Ice Tea. >.>

And I have started to randomly want coffee again lately after pretty much a decade of not having it at all. I don't know how I feel about that. :|

Q: What types of stories do you enjoy?

Jack: "All of them."

Emily: "Literally. This man has an unlimited supply of stories."

Jack: "I try." smile

Emily: "Indeed you do." chuckle "I like adventure stories."

Jen: "Hm. Well, I read mostly, history books. Although, you can argue some of that to be fictional so maybe it counts as 'stories'. I also like poetry. A little bit. Sometimes."
